Goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald has completed his move from Leeds United to Eintracht Frankfurt, and has told the German club's official website that he has developed personally from his spell in England.
Eintracht Frankfurt – the club Wiedwald played for between 2013 and 2015 – have moved to sign the Leeds flop on a three-year contract until 2021.
The German side lost star goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky to Bayer Leverkusen, and whilst they have signed Danish goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow, Wiedwald arrives as experienced cover.
Now, Wiedwald has told the club's official website that he feels he has developed thanks to his experience with Leeds, even though he has endured a torrid year in West Yorkshire.
"I think that I have developed personally through the experience abroad," says Wiedwald. "Now I have to arrive in Frankfurt, offer myself and, ideally, play as much as possible," he added.
Good luck to FW - I do think he was made out to be far worse than he was. I felt he was a decent shot stopper, great at reading the play and good with his feet which was vital to the system TC wanted to play. However his weakness when the ball was in the air meant he wasn't particularly well suited to the hurly burly side of the Championship especially when teams started to target the weakness.
